Airport High

Summary:

Airport High is a public high school located in West Columbia, South Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,428 students. The school is part of the Lexington 02 school district, which is ranked 59 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Airport High's academic performance, as measured by End-of-Course (EOCEP) exams, has been consistently below the state and district averages across various subjects, including Algebra 1, English 1, U.S. History, and English 2. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 49.13% of Airport High students were proficient or better in Algebra 1/Mathematics, compared to 54.23% in the Lexington 02 district and 72.5% statewide. The school's performance on EOCEP exams has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 111 out of 225 high schools in 2018-2019 to 165 out of 235 high schools in 2023-2024. Additionally, Airport High's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with particularly low rankings for female, Hispanic, and White students.

Despite the high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (84.24% receive free or reduced-price lunch) and the school's relatively high spending per student ($12,767 in 2022-2023), Airport High's academic performance has not shown significant improvement. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and student engagement, may be more critical in driving academic success. Comparisons to nearby schools, such as Brookland-Cayce High and River Bluff High, as well as charter schools like Gray Collegiate Academy, further highlight the need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve the educational outcomes at Airport High.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
